Text of measure

The question as it appeared on the ballot:

Shall the Nevada Constitution be amended to raise the minimum wage paid to employees?[1]

The language that appeared in the voter's guide:

EXPLANATION

The proposed amendment, if passed, would create a new section to Article 15 of the Nevada Constitution. The amendment would require employers to pay Nevada employees $5.15 per hour worked if the employer provides health benefits, or $6.15 per hour worked if the employer does not provide health benefits. The rates shall be adjusted by the amount of increases in the federal minimum wage over $5.15 per hour, or, if greater, by the cumulative increase in the cost of living measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), with no CPI adjustment for any one-year period greater than 3%.[1]

Controversy over donors

The campaign manager for Question 6 was Gail Tuzzolo, an AFL-CIO lobbyist. The "Yes on Question 6 PAC" reported all of its funding as an "in-kind" contributions from one nonprofit corporation, the "Give Nevada a Raise Corp."[2]
